PALM working hard to help

The personal impact of chronic pain?

For many, chronic pain is an unrelenting presence, diminishing joy and complicating daily tasks. Unfortunately, the effects often remain invisible, leading to misunderstandings and, in severe cases, unjust disciplinary actions. At PALM, we see you. We recognise the burdens you carry each day and are committed to helping restore your joy and making your work life manageable.

You are not alone. We understand the challenges you face when managing chronic pain at work. PALM is here to support you, working with your pain to create an environment that recognises your unique strengths and struggles. We're dedicated to restoring the joy in your work life and ensuring you feel valued and understood.

At PALM, we are not just another well-being initiative, we redefine the approach to chronic pain in the workplace.

Explore PALM now and protect the health of your business…

At PALM, our goal is to curate a workspace where everyone can function as a whole human being, acknowledging and accommodating the reality of chronic pain. Together, we can build a workplace culture that values well-being as a key component of business success, eliminating the gap between management and employees, and fostering a united, supportive work environment.

The PALM course is about enriching the learning experience.

The course seeks to improve the individual’s relationship with their condition and themselves. Part of the change in this relationship is recognising that there are things that can be done to improve the ‘bigger picture’ and reduce suffering so that people can live a better life, despite pain. We use a variety of approaches that are based on practical experience rather than just theory. The aim is to present participants with a new perspective on their situation and the tools and mind-set to find their own solutions and way forward. It is an approach in which we work to engender self-efficacy and resilience.
